Love your videos. I feel like driving to Mt Dare just so you two can check over my 200 GX. I’m an absolute mechanical numpty but watching & listening to you two I can really understand what’s going on. Love it👍

Good job and commentary!

Just found your videos yesterday my husband & I watched them all lastnight. Love them. Husbands a mechanic and I work fifo from brissy north of Alice springs off the plenty hwy. Interesting to see what it's like bit further south. Looking forward to more vids.

Found your channel great guys , yes please you guys are awesome

Isabelle beautiful legs. Love to work with you

Good people like you two are hard to find. Great job and thx for a great video

Bloody great !! Love the old homestead !! Keep up the great vids guys 👍🍻🍻

Thanks Jeremy, will watch it 20 times more and one day may give it a go, Alan

Awesome video well done 👍

Shoulda looked in Kel's box of tricks in the corner of the shed and you'd find a bearing packer 🤣

I had the same problem on my 2,8 gd6 4x4 auto. Wire on trailer plug loom chafed through and grounded blowing brake light fuse. The auto's don't shift if system can't detect brake lights.

You didn’t check the wheel studs for tightness.

After 200.000 a new set of bearings is nothing.

Great job, great explanation. Thanks

He missed talking about / showing how to do bearing pre load tension. Then to check bearing temperature after 50 or 100 is of driving. This is very important as too loose will result in bearing failure and to tight will create high bearing temperature then failure.

Job well done have my approval 10/10

Bashing the free wheel hub flanges until they distort is not how you remove the cone washers unless your a "sexy fingers" mechanic. (everything you touch, you fuq)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard anyone explain and demonstrate how to do a bearing repack quite as good as that. Really excellent!

15 flbs is the correct preload on cruiser wheel bearings Pull the tension wrench out

All I could think about throughout the entire video was how hot it must get under that roof during summer. Must be like working under a BBQ plate! You should charge an extra $10hr between December and March..

Great tutorial thanks. Pretty much the same as my caravan. I wonder why conical bearings are still used at all though.

At least she knows the dangers of wearing a short skirt and uses her left hand to save her blushes. 13:19

automatic? yea nah

Agree with the spare key, usually stash it somewhere protected but fairly difficult to get to for security. I also think, after losing a starter motor in Cape York last year while remote, it is also a must for manuals. Two hours of pushing a heavy vehicle on soft terrain to get it started I would have happily swapped it out rather than do that again 😖

Replace the tubes of gasket sealer about 2 years as it does harden even if sealed. Carry an assortment of tyre patches and goo,tip top is the one I have. Spare key attached somewhere on the vehicle coated with silicon sealer for protection. I wouldn't run engine oil in the diff unless it was dry, and only under light load for minimum distance,it has no EP component,ok for bearings but not not gears.

Never been out that way. Awesome to see what u do. Ur very capable u pair. Great vids. K

Great work Jen, Izzy and Shaney. The Mt Dare crew are bloody legends

I have a 2006 diesel lux. Got my local Toyota dealer to do wheel bearings, and after service p/s rear started leaking, took it back and ye was just a pinched seal. Hasn't even done 500kms and same again. Is it possible the axle has a score in it from the removal process. Cheers guys taken everything you have said about spares on board. 👍

For sealing brake line blow outs - hardboard underlay nails or a copper nail - slide up the union to the broken pipe blead - you've still got one brake on that circuit

You can do this without sledging everyone else.

No spare coolant or engine oil?

We carry 2 ignition keys with a spare battery . Also if running aftermarket wheels make sure the wheel nuts work with your spare eg tapered seat vs parallel nut for mags .

Nice wheels on the Cruiser Chaps ! My choice exactly ! !

Personally I bring spare clamps, hose clamps as well as radiator hoses had one break before wasn’t fun

👍👍

My 2.8 diesel rodeo can run without a battery.😊

Enjoyed your video, some well thought out reasons for the spares. You must think about all your likely show stoppers, touring the outback and prepare accordingly. I haul a caravan, which is another can of worms. Love your videos, Isabelle, as small as she is, is amazing, lucky man Jeremy. Never heard of Mt Dare before your videos, but am now considering a visit next year. What about a video on the tools you carry?

One thing to go with the fence wire is a wire hose clamp tool to make tight clamps with wire and not just for hoses, but for everything that need a tight connection.. Bought tool: ruclips.net/video/dHx0BwK35KM/видео.html DIY: ruclips.net/video/uc3BbShYLp0/видео.html 73/ Marcus

Ive got the 48V hilux. Has no alternator but a bloody big generator instead. Whats your suggestion if wanting to do the Simpson Desert ? 😬

Pluck a duck…….just finished 2.5 years traveling AUS and I guess with all carry a different array of spares. I did not consider alternator or starter motor, although we have a manual gearbox. Did carried a couple of vehicle specific items. We were right a space and GVM which by default limited what we choose to carry. Didn’t end up needing any of the spares I carried…service items we had mailed to where we were going to need them.

I travel on 2 wheels, no doubt you see your fair share of broken bikes. Tools, tube, patches, oil, fork seals, zip ties, tape, heat shrink, lighter, small multimeter, spare bolts, extra tie downs, a bit of grease, glue, PLB and 2 way. The CRF now has 40000kms on it, so a clutch if I don't change it out beforehand (for sand I would change before I left) compressor and a spare key. Always a new or close to new chain and sprockets before a trip. Big sense of humour also, something always goes wrong.

Could u do a tool video go thru what tools u carry in the Luxy ‘ cheers

Great vid ,wheel studs and engine oil on top of what you have

Jesus the extra weight, I was waiting hear spare engine.

I have an auto but rather than carry a spare starter I pull it out, inspect and usually clean solenoid terminals before a remote trip to save the weight, if in doubt put a new one in pre trip. I have a 2009 120 Prado, so similar to your hilux, I always carry a spare front shock, I only have the standard Old Man Emus not the BP51’s which look beefier. I carry welding rods and a welding lens, these saved another traveller a Simpson recovery when I stopped to help. They also saved us a recovery towards the end of one of our more extreme trips which was basically, Oodnadatta track, Finke track, Tanami, Canning, Gunbarrel hwy, McPhersons pillar on the Gary hwy, Connie Sue, across the trans continental where we did a trailer wheel bearing that cracked the hub. A scan gauge or similar to reset fault codes and list of what the codes are is also in our kit. Assorted bolts, nuts, tech screws also. A few years ago we had the nut on the upper control arm bolt come off and the bolt worked its way out, I have since drilled through the end of the bolt and added a split pin to avoid this ever happening again.

I got different wheels on my car than the spare. So carrying a spare set of wheel nuts specific to the spare wheel is a must for me. Also I have got a hydraulic jack which came with the car and if I get a flat I can't be sure I will get it underneath the vehicle so I am thinking of getting a scissor jack just in case! I know I could carry a high lift jack but if weight is a concern it would be one of the first things I would consider getting rid of to lose weight!

Ive seen some failed U bolts on you tube videos, might be worth considering.

Really good, informative video guys.
